Respiration refers to the process in which an organism absorbs from the environment gases essential for its cellular metabolism and also expels the gases which are the products of this metabolism. Cellular respiration is the chemical reaction where organic molecules are degraded in order to make ATP molecules, which is the main source of energy for metabolism. Gas exchange is elementary for the cellular respiration as supplying of some reagents and expelling of some products of this chemical reaction depends upon the gas exchange.
